TRULY it may be said that we are concerned with our neighbor more broadly, more universally, now than ever before in human history. From the struggling masses of industrialism and immigration, back of this humanitarian movement and that, there gleams the invincible ideal of brotherhood; and despite the seeming clash of national will on will, and the Babel of materialism, the rallying trumpet call of a mighty social compunction is calling as never before, Men and brethren, what shall we do? In all this challenge of change, crumbling convictions, newly dawning certainties, we are fast learning that we cannot keep the great Christian second commandment if it is severed from the first.

COMPANIONSHIP is one of humanity's most prized blessings, and, gained in its true sense, it enriches and makes more fruitful every life. This being so, why should any of God's children lack happy and satisfying companionship? Nothing which really blesses does the loving Father withhold from His own sons and daughters.

LARGE numbers of people were attracted to Christ Jesus on many occasions: the Gospels state that "multitudes" or "great multitudes" pressed upon him for healing. The rapid growth and prosperity of Christian Science indicate that it, likewise, is attracting the multitudes.

THE Psalmist sang, "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. " When we approach it from a spiritual standpoint, what a depth of meaning is found in the word "reflection"! The real man is the reflection of God.

MOTHER-LOVE! What words so sweet, so full of meaning, so tender in all they convey to the listening thought! To Mary Baker Eddy we owe our deepest gratitude, for through her constant communion with God there came to her the revelation that God is our Mother as well as our Father, a revelation so momentous that the world as yet but slightly comprehends what it means to the human race. For ages mankind has been taught to know God as Father; but to this deeply religious woman was given the complete revelation of the allness of God, "Truth's appearing in the womanhood as well as in the manhood of God, our divine Father and Mother" ( Miscellaneous Writings, p.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS realize that the facts of real being, the Science of being, have throughout eternity existed and will throughout eternity exist unchanged. They know that all through human history there have been scattered cases when men through earnest spiritual effort have intuitively touched this Science and seen it operate.

WOVEN into the sacred Scriptures like a golden thread is the central fact of the oneness of God. Moses, the great leader of the ancient Hebrews, their lawgiver and spokesman, proclaimed this truth about God: "Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

THE most spiritually regal event of the ages, the coming of Christ Jesus, took place where the world does not look for royalty—even in a lowly stable. The Wisemen who followed the star were led, not to a throne of royal splendor, but to a babe cradled in a manger.

DEBT is a world problem. Undoubtedly the right concept of supply can solve this problem.

THE divine Principle of Christian healing, as taught and practiced by Christ Jesus and as revealed to modern thought through the discovery of Christian Science by Mary Baker Eddy, not only offers the assurance of ultimate salvation, but specifies the exact terms upon which relief from the ills of the flesh can be attained here and now. The essential requirements of this method of healing are implicit in the Scriptures, but it was not until the advent of Christian Science that elucidation of them became sufficiently explicit for their application to modern needs.
